With the reopening of the Sainsbury Wing in 2025 and annual visitor numbers expected to exceed 4.5 million in the coming years, there is now a unique opportunity to creatively rethink how visitors are asked to support the Gallery both online and on site through refreshed donation boxes, in our shops and cafes and a more strategic visitor journey.
